I'm trying to understand the 'Future Tense'. Have I placed the correct tense next to the following sentences. I'm fairly confident that my answers are correct for 1,2 and 4, but I'm having trouble with answer 3. Is there any further information on UsingEnglish.com that will help me gain a better understanding?
1) I'm seeing the doctor at two. a) Present Continuous (with future time marker).
Rule: Pre-arranged plans in the future.
2) Tomorrow will be wet and grey a) Future Continuous
Rule: When a future action fills a specific period of time
3) I'll post it as soon as I finish. a) Future Simple
Rule:
4) We're going to take a holiday at Easter. a) Present Continuous (with a future time marker).
Rule: Pre-arranged plans in the future.
